This comes after US President Joe Biden confirmed that he had ordered the targeting of sites in Iraq on Monday night.
"I ordered airstrikes last night, targeting sites used by Iranian-backed militias responsible for the recent attacks on Americans in Iraq," Biden said while encountering outgoing Israeli President Reuven Rivlin.
